because the gold deposit there is already exhausted, it was expensive to find a gold grain, and as for our country, i really like to travel around our country, in fact, we have such a rich and unique nature, that is, you can go to the chalk quarries to look, you can go to the forest, you can go to our lakes, and well, believe me, when you come as a specialist, that is, you look, aha, this is lake glaciers.

well, as for the belarusian maldives, which everyone has heard of, they are unique in that firstly, these are chalk quarries, when water fills these quarries, it becomes bluish, well, this is all done by the rocks themselves, this interesting color, it attracts many residents of our country, tourists who come there, but since this is a quarry, entry is limited and, unfortunately, the quarry is still being developed, so being there for people... is unsafe, so geologists and paleontologists always warn when they go on expeditions, we always follow safety precautions, i will say so, i am guided by the principle, i know what i don't know, because the world is so rich, so diverse, and to know everything, believe me, is well impossible, the goal is always to make a discovery, and the dream is, of course, to visit new places to see beauty. razi of nature, this is the dream

that always strives to geologize.

the project was created with the support of the national tourism agency and the ministry of antimonopoly regulation and trade.

belarus, when the soul pushes, move forward, and from the heart do not lag behind, the stomach sings, and thirst. travel and adventures are, by on the road you like to eat somewhere, always, the food is great, every year the 2,000 population of babruisk increases by another 20-25,000 people, these are tourists who come to see the city, equally famous among reenactors, as well as fans of the golden ... lenok and connoisseurs of the history of belarusian jews, and during my walks around babruisk i learned this: why did filmmakers love the babruisk fortress, why has the city preserved so much of the building before the revolution? go to the market

and ask, who else besides the beaver can you meet in the old center, new impudent, how i was allowed to bake jewish challah and how it differs from the soviet braid. immediately upon entering from minsk, bobruisk announces itself with a large-scale map indicating everything that a diligent tourist must see in the city. bobruisk really wants you to feel good in it, it immediately offers several tourist routes, a convenient mobile application, you won’t get lost. it must be said that the layout of bobruisk is atypical, after construction. in bobruisk fortress, which initially resembled a giant star, the city was already formed around it, forming the rays of the ring. the fortress itself was built in just a year to become the western border of the russian empire in the war with napoleon. the fortress fulfilled its task and even withstood two more wars, and

although the old city, 400 years old, was demolished for its construction, the new city-fortress literally fed. the residents of old bobruisk literally. the townspeople of old bobruisk lived at this expense, as they say, where there is demand, there is supply, now the fortress has fallen into disrepair, there are legends about it and about napoleon's treasures and about underground passages and about a stone bag, a terrible cell for prisoners, in which you can neither sit nor stand. nowadays, the bobruisk fortress is included in the list of historical and cultural. values ​​of the republic of belarus. by the way, many tourists mistakenly think that this is the entire babruisk fortress. well, no, this is not true. the fortress is located on an area of ​​several kilometers around. now i'll show you. in in general, the fortress area occupied up to 120 hectares.

today, there is a capanir from which one could shoot back, a reduid for close combat, you can also look at the opernman tower or the red tower. minsk gate abandoned barracks. looking at these barracks, it is easy to imagine the scale of the construction of the fortress, and where there is a large construction, big money is spinning, which means that someone is definitely making money. you can imagine that if in some places the width of the fortress walls was up to ten bricks, how much all the bricks and other building materials were needed so that every single brick went to the fortress, the townspeople were forbidden to build stone houses, only wooden ones, well and here the resident bobros. did not remain at a loss, the forestry industry flourished in the city, the image of wooden ship masts is even on the coat of arms of bobruisk, but now the remains of the fortress splendor serve as a good background for photo shoots, picnics and more. the fortress lives a full life to this day. now it is

a large film pavilion, here constantly a movie is being filmed. thanks to its advantageous location, and the city was at the crossroads of trade routes, bobruisk has always had some privileges, for example, in the 15th century, residents were allowed to make alcoholic beverages for themselves, not for sale, but to cut down forest along the river for construction. the bobruisk market has always been a cultural center, a center where public opinion was created and formed, here they not only traded, but also negotiated matchmaking, employment, and even for...

i don’t conduct political formations, but in general trade in babruisk was always brisk, even more profitable than in the capital, the number and income of babruisk merchants exceeded those of minsk by several times, they traded everything they could, they even named the city itself in honor of the main product. bobruisk is called bobruisk for quite understandable reasons, the city's residents were engaged in the beaver trade, everything from furs to beaver stream, so it is quite logical, the beaver is the symbol of the city, beavers in bobru. no need to look, they are everywhere here, well, the most solid beaver appeared here in 2006 for

the harvest, it weighs 300 kg and costs not far from market. by the way, they say that in the sixties of the last century , bobruisk bachelors gathered on this patch of land, and bobruisk brides walked past them, well, now bobruisk folk craftsmen stand here. in bobruisk, whether you like it or not, everything is somehow connected with beavers and even souvenirs here are in the form of beavers, you can hold them in your hands, look at what beauty. if you are here, you will definitely buy one, from you and as if it were alive, a beaver for good, why me, so that all men were like a beaver, the best family man, the most the best worker is a beaver, he will tear a bear's mouth apart for his family, so that all men would be like him, therefore, i know that the beaver has its own instructions for good, that is, it is not just a statue, it actually fulfills a wish,

in all cities there is a pedestrian street, so in bobruisk this street is very long,

in fact it is a large pedestrian avenue, well, according to the classics, on weekends people dress up to go out, see others and show themselves. old-timers say that one of the entertainments was a competition, who more times will go back and forth along the social road. nowadays, you can also walk here endlessly. after the street became completely pedestrian, there is simply. the greatest concentration of shops and cafes. by the way, all the houses in the old center of bobruisk are brick. when the fortress ceased to be the center of life in the city, in 1837 a railway appeared in bobruisk and gave impetus to the development of brick production. that is why there are so many brick houses here, red brick is considered the architectural calling card of bobruisk. it does not seem that babruisk has a competitor. this is pinsk, and these are competing two cities in quantity.

bobruisk nevsky, houses here could afford themselves century socialist street was nicknamed only the most prosperous citizens, rich residents of bobruisk always competed, whose house is more beautiful, and if you walk around the city, you will find a lot, here ... such beautiful mansions. note that only the front facade of the house was plastered. if the house was one-story, then they lived there. if the house had two floors, then on the first floor there was always a shop, and on the second - living quarters, the entrance to which was from the yard, but the most magnificent houses were, of course, those of the timber merchants. they could afford a lot, including eccentricity. and here is another beautiful example. the house of kuptiha kotsnel. you know how it appeared in babruisk, she once traveled around the baltics and liked this house very much,

what she did, she bought it and transported it in parts to belarus. well, the rich, as they say, have their own habits, she transported the house, but did not live in it for a day, she simply rented it out . around the same time in babruisk another house is being built, which tourists do not ignore today. i may not surprise you, but you should definitely see this landmark of babroyski. this house is called port arthur, it is called so because it really is an impregnable fortress. in fact, residents can only get into their apartments from the yard, if the gates to the yard are closed, the house turns into. the name port arthur is most likely associated with the defense of the fortress of the same name, since the house was built during the russo-japanese war. urban legends say that somewhere under there is an underground passage far beyond berezino. if you find yourself near port arthur in the summer, be prepared to stand in line to take a photo, as the courtyard is constantly hosting

photo sessions of newlyweds from bobruisk. there is an amazing sign in obruisk, be sure to find it, here are the directions to everything. world capitals, among them look, the city of pleshchenitsy, well, earlier it was called pleshchenitsy, there is a saying in belarus: belarus has three capitals, minsk, bobruisk, to pleshchenitsy. the sign is next to another landmark of the historical center babruisk. it is on this clock that the time is struck every hour, and at exactly 19:40 it plays the famous jewish melody 7:40. once it was a water tower, now it is a decent restaurant. but it is also here that you can meet the son of lieutenant schmidt. one of the most striking sights of babruisk is this handsome man shura balaganov. by the way, this figure was built by the locals themselves, well , they chipped in so that it would appear here. and there is a special magic, the figures come to life here. hi, shura. hello,

hello. well, as i said comrade, closer to the body. in fact, it 's not shura, it's... you can spend the whole day in the company of a real shura balaganov cool! by the way, in babruisk there are more than ten certified tour guides who can... offer more than ten tourist routes from the secrets of the old city to the literary places of babruisk, and you will definitely see that babruisk is a highly cultural place, if an interactive tour is conducted by such a costumed character, a small request, the fact is that my friend panikovsky sincerely assured me that this is

a golden weight, saw shura girri, they are golden. the hosts of the travel show are like at home, they know exactly how to behave when visiting, and my instructor will be here today, yes, i was lucky today, so small, but beautiful, very beautiful. thank you, shukrang, you could say, this is thank you, shukrang, foreign students travel around belarus, study its history and explore the sights, good morning, friends, rooster, yes, we have it like that, good morning, and how is your rooster, crows, kikerki,

i am showing you belyov girls, brides are growing. pumpkin melons in the garden. every year bears a pound, if only an apple weighed a pound, there would be a lot of tsud here, meeting interesting people, hello, listen, what a beautiful word shpatseruem, and each of you shpatse in your own way, you have one people's artist for everyone, and also a lot of useful and interesting information, our museum is the center of the cultural capital, a lot of events are planned, these are different exhibitions, cooperation with different museums, and how old is the museum? he loved hunting very much, according to stories and testimonies, he even went bear hunting many times, and you bowed your head and combed.

they call it the former capital of belarusian jews, because they once made up 70% of the entire population, the jews chose bobruisk after 1793, when a triple tax was introduced for them in the russian empire. now there are only about 2.0 jews in bobruisk, the rest emigrated in the nineties of the last century, and those who remained finally opened in babruisk synagogue, on the street of socialist, where it has been for almost 200 years. one of the most important and must -see attractions of bobruisk is the synagogue, but today is saturday, shabbat, you will not get here, no one is working.

the revival of the synagogue in bobruisk coincided with the 2000s, when ravin came to the city. in addition to a place for prayer, the bobruisk synagogue is also a cultural and educational center, not only for jews, but also for tourists. of course, i am most interested in jewish culinary traditions and before the master class at the jewish center i, as it should be, prepared. a bottle of kefir, half a loaf, a real student classic, evokes a wildly pleasant nostalgia. and i, by the way, am holding this loaf in my hands now, standing near the synagogue, for a reason. for some, this is just a soviet braided loaf, but in fact, this pastry has a thousand-year history. you probably don’t even remember, in the soviet union , a ruddy braided loaf was sold for 22 kopecks. it was. very aromatic, sprinkled with poppy seeds, it had a golden crust, very fluffy pulp, for that soviet workers loved it. this braided bread occupied a place of honor between

a simple loaf of bread and a sweet bun for tea, although , in addition to the soviet one, it has a much more interesting history, and it is not a braided bread at all, but a challah. soviet bakers inherited challah from the pre-revolutionary assortment, where it came straight from the jewish table. challah simply became a braided bread because it was baked and... eaten without any special rituals, that's what traditions and customs make chaluhala for jews, i'll find out now. well, and elya will tell me this wonderful story, dinaa and the beautiful girls from the hillel student center. so, what is challah? challah is traditionally white bread, a white braided loaf that jews eat on shabbat. come on, tell us, where does challah begin? like any dough, eggs, yeast, flour, our dough is already ready, you see, it has even risen, we, that everything in the oven, everything , well, how is it in the oven, and to pray, and to say something good, well, we need it so that

this challah is, well, are you ready, so that this challah is truly kosher, really jewish, really our shabanni, we need to separate a piece from it to say a blessing, okay, actually i'll be a little smart, challah is not so much the dish itself. red ceremonies, which men are not allowed to, that is, i understand that today you will not let me separate the challah, nor braid this beautiful, well, we will definitely not

let me separate it, but we will definitely let me play with braiding a pigtail, well, you understand, i can do that, let 's cook, let's, now i'll take a small piece, we separate it, and what what happens next with this piece, now we will hide this piece like this. we will not say a blessing, we will eat it, no, first we will say what is the meaning of this tradition, tell me why it is necessary to separate the piece, why it cannot be eaten, separating the challah is considered a tribute to tradition, many thousands of years ago the jews had a temple in which we made a sacrifice, and since there is no temple now, now we cannot burn any part of our harvest there or bring it.

in hebrew, challah means a portion, and according to the biblical commandment, the first fruits, even the first a portion of your dough should be given to the lord. but tell me, what ingredients are added to this dough according to ancient jewish traditions, maybe something special? well , the only thing is that we do not add any dairy products. and tell me please, can challah be considered a kosher dish? of course. and what is kosher? people, they always say: this is kosher food, this is not kosher food, but they themselves do not know the meaning of this word, but jews do, share the secret. koshrut is a set of rules by which people eat jews. if we are talking about some very general and basic rules, then we do not eat pork, we do not mix meat and dairy products, we do not eat insects and we select vegetables in a special way. okay, let me try to conduct

such a practical experiment, i will ask you a question, and you will answer me, kosher or not, for example, villichi, kosher, no, no, so, watermelon is kosher, definitely kosher, chocolate is kosher, not all, so, in general, i do not understand anything, and it seems to me that it is impossible to comprehend this truth, we have a lump dough, we need blessings before and after meals. i washed my hands, of course, but they are clearly growing from the wrong place. i still couldn’t roll out a link for a braid, until my wonderful housewives helped me, now all that’s left is to braid the braid itself, i have to cope with this. i asked this question at the beginning of our dialogue, what is shabbat, what kind of holiday is this? first of all, shabbat is of course a holiday, it is saturday, the day of the week that we separate from all

the others, from all weekdays. we separate a special ceremony or a ceremony of shabbat kabbalat shabbat. moreover, saturday is a day on which we have a certain amount of forbidden work, we cannot create something new, we do not do certain work, that is, such a day of laziness, no, in no case, it is a day of immersion in oneself, in the family, it is a day to remember where we are in this life and where in this life, in our life the most high. by the way, as i was told, on shabbat two challahs are given: this is a symbol of a double portion of heavenly manna. when jews 40 years wandered in the desert, manna fell from the sky to feed them, which people only had to collect. on friday, the portion of manna was doubled, to free up saturday, as prescribed, for rest. and i know why you need this beaten egg, to spread on the challah so that it has a golden

crust, right? the more we spread, the tastier it will be. okay, learn. that's how it is. tell me, please, you can't work on saturday, so you have to start making challah on friday, is that right? well traditionally we start making it on thursday. today is thursday, it's already evening, and we kind of start making it and separating it, because the jewish days start in the evening, actually, friday begins on thursday evening. what a surprise? the jewish nation, four new years, the day starts at night, and you can't work on saturdays, and okay, i'm generally confused about your traditions and i'm sincerely grateful that you allowed me to touch them like this today. a special oval dish and special knives. in wealthy families, dishes and utensils for challah were made of precious metals and generously decorated, so today antique things

for... shared, jews, we have such a more family, home, when a man breaks challah, breaking challah on shabbat is not such a difficult job as a wedding, they say that for newlyweds, challah can weigh up to 10 kg, this is a loaf, so a loaf, try to break it. in slavic traditions, when people cook, they usually, well, for example, sing songs, and what - do jews do when they cook, for example, challah? of course there are many options...

we could sing, and i don't know, tell you fairy tales, or you can sing some jewish song, you don't want to sing it, but why not? our women don't sing in front of men, women don't sing in front of men, you are amazing, just you, and what to do with all these stars who perform on stage like this, they also talk about traditional canons, we are not talking about some kind of show business now, so what do jews do when they cook? usually it's a girls' night, where women discuss their husbands and their neighbors, gossip. everything that happened during the week is a time to just chat, relax, and finally take a break from everyone who went to the synagogue, how i got to this bachelorette party, i still don’t understand, challahs can be filled with fillings, from traditional cheese and greens to dates with rose water and

cardamom, some housewives can add pumpkin or spicy spices to the challah, where did you set it, and when are we going to try it? we’ll try it tomorrow, don’t touch it!

people with a sense of humor. bobruisk has a lot symbols, and as i have seen, not only culinary, this is a multifaceted and interesting city. come here, definitely.
